[git] - 2017-02-11

Added

• (!) Make opal possible to get: added missing register_on_generated for changing some stone to opal (see oregen.lua).
• swords & shovels
• Add crafting recipe to convert block back into 9 gems.
• Add recipe to create default:diamond from dye:blue + birthstones:diamond for playability (for when other mods like technic need diamonds for things)

Changed

• (!) Preliminary step in fixing one-chop axes: Change register_tool time2 and time3 from: [1]=time1-2.0, [2]=2.0-time2, [3]=2.0-time3} to times={[1]=time1/2.0, [2]=time2/2.0, [3]=time3/2.0}
• Change * Ore to Stone with * (because why copy other people when you can make sense instead).
• (!) Ore needs better pick to be mined: changed groups.cracky of all from 3 to 1
• (!) Block needs better pick to be mined: Changed groups:

	-- groups = {cracky = 3}
	groups = {cracky = 1, level = 3}

• (!) Change drop of ores (to match modern style from default in minetest_game from minetest 0.4.15-git 2017-01), where * below is name:

	-- drop = 'craft "birthstones:*" 1',
	drop = "birthstones:*",

• (!) Change drop for stone_with_topaz from stone_with_topaz to topaz (apparently this didn't cause an issue since craft method had been used).
• Componentize into separate lua files for each category of operations.

[git] - 2017-02-10

Changed

• Poikilos fork starts today.
• Match minetest texture & variable naming scheme:

    (see changes below, where ^* is capitalized mineral name and * is
    uncapitalized)
	(aliases added only for backward compatibility--see aliases.lua
	--doing aliases can be commented in init.lua)
	Files:
		^* TO birthstones_* (ITEM)
		^*_overlay TO birthstones_mineral_* (ORE OVERLAY)
		^*_block TO birthstones_*_block
		*_axe to birthstones_tool_*axe
		*_pick to birthstones_tool_*pick
		^*_block to birthstones_*_block
	Variables:
		birthstones:*ore TO birthstones:stone_with_*
		"birthstones:".. name .. "_pick" TO "birthstones:pick_"..name
		"birthstones:".. name .. "_axe" TO "birthstones:axe_"..name

• (!) Capitalize stone name when used within tool display name.
• (!) Fix issue where topaz ore was registered twice (didn't seem to cause problems)
• (!) Remove month from display names to avoid breaking immersion (draws too much attention to the items having a "label") if re-added, months would have to be corrected anyway as follows (in the original mod, alphabetical order instead of actual birthstone month determined month): see src/birthstones list.csv
